A Digital Product Passport (DPP) is a structured digital collection of product-related information, including data on sustainability and circularity performance. DPPs are an essential tool to support European policies towards the twin, Green and Digital, transitions. Built on the results of the CIRPASS project, CIRPASS-2 will support 13 pilot deployments of DPP-enabled circular use cases, across multiple complex value chains in the textiles, electronics, tires and construction sectors. DPP system interoperability will be demonstrated for all pilots and confirm viable cross-sectoral, large-scale deployment of the DPP in real-life settings. The DPP Information System deployed will be aligned to European harmonized standards and regulatory requirements. The project will assess the information understanding and satisfaction of consumers, end-users and authorities in using the DPP. The environmental, economic and policy impacts of the DPP, as well as its benefits and challenges for all stakeholders, will be assessed.

"The project directly addresses digital transformation through development of digital readiness of participating HE institutions and their current and future students by provision and absorption of digital tools for delivery of digital educational content in the area of rapid application development (RAD) thereby enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of the educational experiences of the students with tech and business backgrounds. The increased capacity to use RAD platforms (e.g. ORACLE APEX) will ensure preparation of a higher number of resilient students with business and/or tech background across at least 5 European countries. The project aims at the joint development of courses for Rapid application development (RAD) at European universities in Ireland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Croatia, with a focus on ORACLE APPEX, a concept that emphasizes rapid development of web and mobile applications. In an ever-competitive market, RAD is replacing traditional methods and off-the-shelf products. RAD allows business and IT to collaborate effectively, acting as a catalyst in innovation and streamlining workflows. The project will ultimately increase the quality in the educational work, activities and practices through digital transformation of at least 5 European HE institutions, opening up to different business sectors massively requiring IT talents."
